Introduction

Create form templates with the use of Components. Components are the building blocks of your customizable survey forms. They can be easily added or configured either from the Form settings panel or through the Edit button found on the header of the survey.

Below is a list of available survey components.

List of available form components:

• Text: Inserts text into the survey. Usually used as instructions.
• Written Answer: Users can write a reply to the question. This component can also be configured to read QR Codes or NFC input on mobile devices.
• Multiple choice: Give users multiple-choice questions. This component can be configured as a dynamic survey, i.e., to display more options as certain answers are given.
• Rating: Users can rate an item with "stars".
• Date and time: Answers are received in date or date & time format.
• Location: Current or other GPS location is obtained through an embedded Google Map.
• Attachment: Send almost any type of file through the survey.
• Camera: Send pictures directly from a camera or gallery.
• Signature: Freestyle brush that permits handwriting. Useful for signatures.
• Survey: Adds an existing survey into the survey.

Configuring Form Components

General component configuration is discussed here.

Icons and each configuration tab are explained below.

Icon Descriptions:

The following icons are used in most of the form components for setup and configuration options.

Action Name	Image	Description
Drag		Hold click to drag component
Required		Click to make the component a required field that the user must fill out.
Writing not permitted		Users cannot answer the question but will still be visible in the survey.

You can edit a component by clicking on it once it is on the template.

Each component has three sections (tabs) that can be configured: General, Conditional display, and Automation.

General Tab

From the General tab, configure basic component settings. Each component will display in this tab its specific basic configuration. Some components might also require creating collections and elements. Go to a component's page for specific field descriptions, configuration, and requirements.

Conditional Display Tab

Each component has the conditional display tab, which allows you to make a dynamic survey, i.e., depending on the answers given to a certain question, new questions relative to the answer will appear. For example, if the response of component X is A, component Y will be displayed; otherwise, it will remain hidden.

The conditional display settings panel:
